Synopsis

Loren McIntyre's account of how in 1971, after years of searching, he discovered the source of the Amazon. Local rumour had it that only the Mayoruma tribe, deep in the Amazon interior, could lead McIntyre to his goal, and he claims that he communicated with tribe's headman by telepathy before reaching the river's source. The explorer's journals are interwoven with detailed narrative by Petru Popescu, author of "The Last Wave".

About the Author

Born in Bucharest in 1944, Petru Popescu was Communist Romania's most provocative young novelist, before he was forced to defect and start writing in English. His Romanian novels Captured and Burial of the Vine are classics of the resistance against totalitarian art.

Moving to the United States, he wrote movies including The Last Wave and Death of an Angel, before returning full time to fiction. The Encounter: Amazon Beaming, Almost Adam, The Return, and The Oasis made him known worldwide. In The Encounter, the theme of exploring and winning one s freedom within oneself makes an unforgettable character from the discoverer of the Amazon s source, Loren McIntyre. Undoubtedly, freedom is Popescu's signature motif. Popescu is married to screenplay writer Iris Friedman, and they live in Los Angeles.
